You that do know what to true love belong, Pil tell you a story that lately was done : At Oxford a merchant's fair daughter did dwell, Who for wit and beauty did others excel. A noble young 'squire that lived hard by, Upon this young lady did soon cast an eye, And for to court her he thus did b e g i n : Thou fairest of creatures that ever was seen, D o not be so cruel but yield unto me, For without your love there's no comfort f o r m e ; And now give consent for to be my bride, Or else I am ruined for ever he cry'd. The Vis When So now I 9 smiles did reply, like a creature should die, power your life to save, this that you do crave. With eager embraces be flew to her arms, And said, Thou hast ten thousand charms, Which invited great monarchs to fall at your feet, But I've got the prize and my joys are complete. First ask my father's consent, she did say, For I must ever his pleasure obey : My honoured parents I mean to please, For fear the Heavens be with us displeas'd. 1 �3 Th@n straight to her father the 'squire did go, And the whole matter he gave him to know, Her father was pleased he should be his son, And said, if she loves him it soon shall be done. All things were agreed on, the time was set, And now as soon as the couple were met, This perjured villain, the innocent fair, He with false delusions began to ensnare. With modesty she unto him did s a j , Sir, do not my honour thus strive to betray. This is not true love, but lust you do mean, Better it had been if 1 ne'er had you seen. It will not be long e'er I shall be your bride ; Then seek not my ruin, she to him reply'd: O talk not of ruin, thou pride of my life, May heaven forsake me if thou'rt not my wife. With many persuasions his will he obtain'd, And then her bright person, he soon disdain'd: For straight up to London this villain did come, Leaving his jewel in sorrow to mourn. Her parents wonder'd the 'squire never came, Asking their daughter the cause of the same; She said, honoured father, the cause I don't know, But men they are fickle, and so let therrj go. Tho' she to her parents did not seem surpriz'd, When she was alone, the tears from her eyes �Lifee fewnMil^ would run ; crying, worst of men ; For yput I will trust no man again. But I will wander thro' vallies and groves, Be witness Heaven, how false is my love ! An$ atiU I must love him do all that 1 can, I must a slave to this perjured man. Rich jewels and treasure she did provide, Saying, now I will wander whatever betide ! And if my troubled heart does find any rest, To live m 3 cottage I'd think myself blest. So then from her parents away she did go, Poor soul, with her heart full of sorrow and wo, Theft' lonesome fields and woods she did hie, Then she $ small cottage at length did espy. It was a poor shepherd that in it dwell, Seeing the lady sit down near his cell, H e wel&om'd h.er in, and said, sweft lady fair, Pray what cruel fortune lias driven you here ? Then into his cottage the lady did go. His wife unto her great kindness did show, VVh$n sh& the r shepherd some time had been, Her i'icli^s a$<J jewels, she gave unto them, And s^id, of this matter let no one know : And to keep the sheep in the vallies I'll go, Tlpje Wandering Shepherdess y^u can me call, U n f o r ^ w ^ i feye. is l he. cause of my fal/1. �5 A rich suit of green embroider'*] ware, With a garland of flow'rs had this lady fair, To shade off the sun from her beauty clear, To her sheep in the valJies she did repair. When two long years were fioish'd and gone, T]ie 'squire to Oxford straight did return, Her parents accus'd him of wronging their child, He said, she w as fickle and false as the wind. But now, said her father, I fear she is So we can add nothing to what we have But sure she was honest and virtuous to And you're the man that has caused her dead, said; all? fall. Now we will leave her parents; ta mourn, And unto the Shepherdess let us return, Who was the talk of the folk far and near, At length her lover the sam$ came to hear. He must see this beauty whatever betide; Then he got his coach and away he did ride ; And just as bright Pheebus was going down, He came to the valley where she lay alone. The lambs were sporting in innocent sport, And she was pleased with their harmless sport; ^er fine silver hair sweet breezes did wave, a bank of s-weet lillies she carelessly lay. 0 gods! said the 'squire sure she i& divine, she is mortal, oh h let her be mine, �He little thought it was his love so true, Men so much admire each beauty they view. The charming Shepherdess turned her eyes, Soon did she know hrm to her surprise, But yet who she was he did not know, At length to her cottage she homeward did go. H e followed her home, siying, sweet fair, Pity a lover that is in despair ; For by the glance of your charming eyes, My love-sick heart is fili'd with surprise. Sir, you seem a person of high degree, And I a pt or Shepherdess now as you s e e : Talk not sweet creature, thy charms are so sweet, Will cause the great monarch to fall at thy feet. T h e Shepherdess then invited him in, But now afresh her sorrows do b e g i n : T h e garland of flowers being took from her head, He knew it was his love he thought had been dead His love-sick heart he soon did abate, But he unto her no notice did t a k e ; Quoth he to himself, since it is thee, I ere to-morrow your butcher will be. They parted that nightthe n e x t morning to meet In the sweet pasture where she kept her sheep, And the n e x t morning just as the sun arose, This perjured wretch to the Shepherdess goes; �/ No one being there, he to her did say, Come, madam, strip off that gaudy a r r a y ; As I'm come so far an harlot to see, i am resolved \ o u r butcher to be. Can'st thou be so cruel, to him she did say, My innocent life thus to take aw ay ? , What harm, ny dear jewel, have I done to thee, The crime it was yours, in-deluding me. Vile strumpet, dost thou pres ime for to prat, I Come yield to my sword, for no longer I'll wait. | She to him for mercy did bitterly cry, I But he hard hearted wretch had no mercy. But finding with him she could not prevail, I 0 heaven ! said she, since all flesh is frail, Pardon my crimes, which are many, she cries, i Now traitor I'm ready for ) o u r sacrifice. She op'ned her breast, far whiter than snow, He pierced her heart whilst the crimson did flow "er body he threw in a river near, And thus dy'd the beauty of fair Oxfordshire. Then home he returned, and when he came thsre He wandered about like a roan in despair ; 1 | No rest night nor d xy lie ever could find, The sweet Shepherdess ran so in his mind.

KEEN the frosty winds were blawing, Deep the snaw had wreath'd the ploughs, Watty, wearied a' day sawing, Daunert down to Mungo Blue's. Dryster Jock was sitting cracky, Wi' Pate Tamson o' the hilj, " Come awa," quo' Johnny, " Watty ! Haith w e s e ha'e anither gill." Watty, glad to see Jock Jabos, And sae mony neibours roun', Kicked frae his she on the snaw ba's. Syne ayont the fire sat down. Owre a board wi' bannocl- s heatpet, Cheese, and stoups, and glasses stood ; Some were roaring, ithers sleepit, Ithers quietly chew'd their cude. Jock was selling Pate some tallow, A* the rest a racket hell, A' but Watty, wha, poor fallow ! Sat and smoket by hi'mse!'. M u n g o fill'd him up a toothfu', Drank his health and M e g s in ane, Watty, puffing up a mouthfu', Pledg'd hin\ wi' a weary grane. ''What's the matter, Watty, wi' you ?

After Bess and I were kippled, Soon she grew like ony bear, Brak my shins, and when I tippled, Haurl't out my very hair! For a wee I quietly knuckled; But when naething could prevail, Up my claes and cash I buckled,— " Bess, for ever fare ye weel." Then her din grew less and less aye, Haith I gart her change her tune; Now a better wife than Bessy Never stept in leather shoon. �4 Try this, Watty.—When y e see her Raging like a roaring flood, Swear that moment that ye'll lea' her ; That's the way to keep her good." Laughing, sangs, and lasses' skirls, Echoes now out through the r o o f : " D o n e !" quo' Pate, and syne his erls, Nail'd the Dryster's wauket loof.

Watty, wha, 'midst this oration, E'ed her whiles, but durstna speak, Sat like patient Resignation, Trem'ling by the ingle cheek.

A humorous song about Watty and his wife, Meg, who nags and quarrels and scolds him within an inch of his life. One morning, after being yelled at in front of all his friends and dragged home by Meg after a night of drinking, he tells he is leaving her to join the army because she has driven him away with all her “flyting,” or quarreling. She begs him to stay and promises she will mind her tongue if only he won’t leave her and the children, which he agrees to after making her solemnly swear to give up her flyting forever.

The lift was clear, the morn serene, The sun just glinting owr the scene, When James McNoe began again To beat to arms, Rouzing the heart o' man and wean Wi' War's alarms. Frae far and near, the country lads (Their joes ahint them on their yads,) Flock'd in to see the show in squads ; And, what was dafter, Their pawky mithers and their dads Came trotting after. 4 �Wi' hats as black as ony raven, Fresh as the rose, their beards new-shaven, And a' their Sunday's deeding having Sae trim and gay, Forth came our Trades, some ora saving To wair that day. 5 �Heh, Sirs ! what crouds were gather'd round, To see them marching up and down ! Lasses and lads, sun-burnt and brown— Women and weans, Gentle and semple, mingling, crown The gladsome scenes ! Meanwhile, before ilk Deacon's dwalling, His ain brigade was made to fall in ; And, while the muster-roll was calling, Mull'd ale and wine Were dealt about in mony a gallon, And gardevine : And cheese-and-bread, and bits o' ham, Laid the foundation for a dram O' whisky, gin frae Amsterdam, Or cherry-brandy ; Whilk after, a' was fish that cam To Jock or Sandy. 6 �The muster owr, the different bands File aff in parties to the Sands, Where, midst loud laughs and clapping hands, Gleed Geordy Smith Reviews them, and their line expands Alang the Nith. 7 �And ne'er, for uniform or air, Was sic a groupe review'd elsewhere ! The short, the tall ; fat fowk and spare ; Side coats, and dockit ; Wigs, queus, and clubs, and curly hair ; Round hats, and cockit ! As to their guns—thae fell engines, Borrowed or begg'd, were of a' kinds For bloody war, or bad designs, Or shooting cushies— Lang fowling-pieces, carabines, And blunder-busses ! And then, to show what diff'rence stands 'Tween him that gets, and gi'es commands, Claymores that, erst, at Prestonpans, Gart foes stand 'yon, Were quiv'ring i' the feckless hands O' mony a drone ! 8 �' Ohon ! ' quo' George, and ga'e a graen, ' The age o' chivalry is gane ! ' Syne, having owr and owr again The hale surveyed, Their route, and a' things else, made plain, He snuff'd, and said : 9 �' Now, Gentlemen ! now mind the motion, ' And dinna, this time, make a botion : ' Shouther your arms!—O! had them tosh on, ' Wheel wi' your right hands to the ocean, ' Wi' that, the dinlin drums rebound, Fifes, clarionets, and hautboys sound ! Thro' crouds on crouds, collected round, The Corporations Trudge aff, whilst Echo's self was drown'd With acclamations ! Their steps to martial airs agreeing, And a' the Sev'n Trades Colours fleeing, Bent for the Craigs, O ! weel worth seeing ! They hy'd awa' ; Their bauld Convener proud o' being The chief owr a'. 10 And march awa ! ' �Attended by his body-guard, He stepp'd in gracefu'ness unpair'd! Straight as the poplar on the swaird And strong as Sampson, Nae eie cou'd look without regard On Robin Tamson. 11 �His Craft, the Blacksmiths, first ava, Led the Procession, twa and twa ; The Squaremen follow'd i' the raw, And syne the Weavers, The Taylors, Souters, Skinners a' And Marrow-cleavers. Their journeymen were a' sae gaucy, Th' apprentices sae kir and saucy, That, as they gaed alang the causey, Sae tight and braw, Th' applauding heart o' mony a lassie Was stown awa. Brisk as a bridegroom gawn to wed, Ilk Deacon march'd before his trade : Foggies the zig-zag followers led, But scarce had pow'r To keep some, fitter for their bed, Frae stoit'ring owr. 12 �As thro'' the town their banners fly, Frae windows low, frae windows high, A' that cou'd find a nook to spy, Were leaning o'er ; The streets, stair-heads, and carts, forbye, Were a' uproar ! Frae rank to rank while thousands bustle, In front, like waving corn, they hustle ; Where, deck'd wi' ribbons round its muzzle, The SILLER GUN, A trinket like a penny whustle, Gleam'd i' the sun ! �Stanzas selected by Gordon F.

My son, I tell thee soothfastly No good is like to liberty : Then never live in slavery. 2 �In the late fourteenth century, the chronicler John of Fordun thought this the natural answer for a Scots sovereign whom the Roman worldpower had summoned to surrender : he writes in Latin. That freedom which our ancestors have left us, which is more to be sought than gold or the topaz stone, far beyond jewels, nay, for us beyond the value of all in the world—this, which our high-hearted fathers have left us unstained, and even to the death served splendidly ; this, not having derogated from their nature, but strong to fulfil their commandment , we too shall keep inviolate for our sons, and pass it on to them in our own turn, unstained by one single spot of slavishness. Farewell. 3 �About the same time another chronicler, John Barbour, wrote in the forefront of his ''Life of Bruce", A noble hairt may haif nane eis, Na ellis nocht that may him pleis, Gif fredom failzie . . . fredom mair to prys Than al the gold in warld that is. 4 �These were not literary flourishes. In 1320 the Estates of Scotland, in Parliament at Arbroath, wrote this to the Pope, in the fifteenth year of the third war for freedom during the l i f e t i m e of all but the youngest present : To [Robert Bruce],who has brought salvation to his people through the safeguarding of their liberties . . . we hold and choose in all things to adhere. Yet Robert himself, should he turn aside from the task that he has begun, and yield Scotland or us to the English king and people, we should cast out as the enemy of us all, and should choose another King 5 �to defend our freedom : for so long as a hundred of us are left alive, we will yield in no least way to English dominion. We fight not for glory, nor for wealth, nor honours : but only and alone we fight for freedom, which no good man surrenders but with his life. In 1482 the Estates again, when threatened with a heavy-weight i n v a s i o n , declared that Our Soverane Lord . . . sal, God willing, defend this realm in honour and fredom, as his nobill p r o g e n i t o u r i s hes done in tymis by-gane. In 1543 an ambassador of the power they defied warns his master that if he attempts to conquer Scotland by force, There is not so little a boy but he will hurl stones against it, the wives will come out with their distaffs, and the commons universally will rather die. 6 �After seven years' resistance to heavy and deliberately brutal invasion, what was under all these sayings was put in two sentences, in 1549, by the author of "The Compleynt of Scotland", perhaps one Wedderburn. The natural love of your native countrey sould be inseparablie rutit in your hairtis, considerand that your lyvis, your bodeis, your h a b i t a t i o u n , your frendis, your livingis and susteinar, your heil, your peace, your 7 �refuge, the rest of your eild, and your sepulture is in it. In 1705, when a war of annexation threatened once more, James Hodges wrote, We have the laws of nature and nations and the justice of the Almighty appeal to. Scotland never yet submitted arms . . . and we hope never to stain our blood and disgrace our pedigree by a disposition so slavish, feminine, and degenerate, as to submit to it now. 8 God and Lord of Hosts to to oppression by force of ��This selection of Scottish sayings on Freedom, edited by Agnes Mure Mackenzie, is set in 12 pt.
